Macquarie Bank vs ING: frequently asked questions

Who has the lower home loan rate, Macquarie Bank or ING?

The exact 80% LVR snapshot dated 27 August 2026 does not contain matching owner-occupier principal-and-interest rows for both lenders, so no rate winner is published.

What's the difference between Macquarie Bank and ING home loans?

Beyond the rate, compare offset coverage, redraw rules, package fees, published LVR scope and deposit-scheme participation. The table above carries each of those where the fact has been verified against the lender's own documents, and reads "Unavailable" where it has not.

Does Macquarie Bank or ING charge a package fee?

Macquarie Bank lists no package fee, and $248 a year on the Offset Home Loan. ING lists $299 a year on the Orange Advantage, nil on the Mortgage Simplifier.

Can first home buyers use the 5% Deposit Scheme with Macquarie Bank or ING?

Macquarie Bank's own site does not state whether it participates, so no claim is made either way. ING was not on the scheme's participating lender list when it was checked. The scheme's eligibility rules and property price caps apply regardless, and the current participating lender list is the primary check.

Macquarie Bank: the Offset Home Loan carries the offset account and the Basic Home Loan does not. ING: the Orange Advantage offset works only while the loan is linked to an ING Orange Everyday account. Offset rules differ by product, so check the offset terms on the specific loan rather than at the brand level.
